Helping researchers 'BRIDGE' language barriers to assess caregiver-child bonds For decades, language barriers have hindered researchers' ability to assess child-caregiver relationships in refugee populations—an important component in designing and implementing interventions that promote the healthy development of displaced children. But a recent study led by Yale's Qusai Khraisha validates a novel observational tool that allows researchers to accurately measure the quality of interactions between young children and their caregivers even if they do not understand the language being spoken.

"Helping researchers 'BRIDGE' language barriers to assess caregiver-child bonds" - Co-author Kristin Hadfield, director of the Trinity Centre for Global Health at Trinity worked with 11 universities across in this newly published research.
